class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Both sides have strong scoring records but have been conceding goals, so we are backing a high-scoring Champions League clash in the Spanish capital

Real Madrid welcome Inter to the Estadio Alfredo di Stefano on Tuesday evening in what is a hugely important game in Group B of the Champions League for both sides.

Neither team have recorded a victory after two games, with the Italians having claimed two draws and Zinedine Zidane’s men salvaging a point at Borussia Monchengladbach last week after losing to Shakhtar Donetsk the match prior.

Real Madrid vs Inter Latest Odds

The hosts remain clear favourites despite their poor showing in their opening home match, with bet365 offering them at 9/10 (1.90).

Antonio Conte’s side have only won two of their last nine away matches in the Champions League and can be backed at 13/5 (3.60), with the draw at 3/1 (4.00).

Real Madrid vs Inter Team News

Eden Hazard should feature from the start after netting against Huesca, but Martin Odegaard,  Dani Carvajal, Nacho Fernandez and Alvaro Odriozola all remain sidelined for Madrid. Lucas Vazquez is doubtful.

Inter are missing Uruguayan midfielder Matias Vecino and top scorer from last season Romelu Lukaku. Alexis Sanchez is also not likely to feature although centre-back Milan Skriniar could return having tested negative for coronavirus.

Real Madrid vs Inter Preview

Both outfits come into the game with a level of pressure they would not have expected to have after the opening two matches as neither have been at their best in Europe and domestically they have also had questions asked.

Inter are conceding more goals this season than last, having already let in 10 strikes in six Serie A games, while Real Madrid have consistently struggled to keep things as tight as they did in the previous campaign.

Had both sides been at their respective best then this would have almost certainly been a clash where goals should be opposed, but neither defence is in particularly convincing form and both attacks are striking.

Inter have kept two clean sheets in eight competitive fixtures this term, while scoring in seven of those matches, whilst Madrid have conceded in each of their last five matches yet have scored in all but one of their nine competitive clashes this term.

Real Madrid vs Inter Tips and Predictions

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is priced at 4/5 (1.80) and has paid out in each of Real Madrid’s last six matches in the Champions League.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The top two sides in Champions League Group D face off in Italy on Tuesday and our tipster is backing plenty of action between these attacking teams

Liverpool can take a giant step towards the Champions League knockout stages when they travel to Atalanta on Tuesday night.

The Premier League champions opened with a 1-0 win at Ajax thanks to an own goal from Nicolas Tagliafico, before grinding out an unconvincing victory at home to Midtjylland, putting them in the driving seat of Group D.

Atalanta have picked up where they left off last season with a series of high-scoring wins in Serie A, and will be in good spirits after coming back from two goals down to take a point against Ajax last time out.

Atalanta vs Liverpool Latest Odds

Liverpool’s away form has been intermittent at best, having won just five of their last 15 matches outside of Anfield, but bet365 make them Evens (2.0) favourites to maintain their 100 per cent record in the group stage.

Atalanta have only claimed one win from their last three games in all competitions and are priced as 11/5 (3.20) outsiders to leapfrog the Reds and climb atop Group D.

The 2-2 draw with Ajax was the first time in 12 outings that the hosts played out a stalemate on their own turf and it is 16/5 (4.20) that the sides share the points when Jurgen Klopp’s men visit the Stadio di Bergamo.

Atalanta vs Liverpool Team News

Mattia Caldara, Marco Carnesecchi, Cristiano Piccini and Marten de Roon are all injured for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side.

Liverpool are without Virgil van Dijk, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Fabinho and Kostas Tsimikas, while Naby Keita, Joel Matip and Thiago all face late fitness tests.

Atalanta vs Liverpool Preview

This fixture would pose a tough test for Liverpool even with a full-strength side but with only one senior centre-back likely to be at their disposal, it is even more difficult.

Atalanta have scored 17 in just six Serie A games this term, whilst in the Champions League they have scored six times from 17 shots on target and they should have little problem creating more opportunities against a Liverpool side missing a raft of players at the back.

Klopp’s side have also scored 17 league goals and have recorded five or more shots on target in all but one of their matches in all competitions, meaning they too are unlikely to struggle in front of goal against an Atalanta side with only one clean sheet this season.

Atalanta vs Liverpool Tips and Predictions

Over 9.5 shots on target in the match pays out at Evens (2.0) with bet365 and that looks good value for this clash, having paid out in both of Atalanta’s Champions League matches as well as in Liverpool’s win at Ajax.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Games involving the Old Trafford outfit have seen plenty of goals so far this season and we are backing that trend to continue in Europe this week

Manchester United travel to Turkey to face Istanbul Basaksehir on Wednesday night in Group H of the Champions League.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men have made an excellent start to their European campaign with six points from their opening two games, and another victory would put qualification for the knockout stages within touching distance.

Istanbul Basaksehir vs Manchester United Latest Odds

After a fine win at Paris Saint-Germain on matchday one and a 5-0 thrashing of RB Leipzig last week, it is unsurprising to find United priced at 2/5 (1.40) with bet365 for the win.

The hosts have lost both of their matches so far in the group and are offered at 7/1 (8.00) with the draw at 15/4 (4.75). 

Istanbul Basaksehir vs Manchester United Team News

The Premier League side are set to be without Phil Jones, Eric Bailly, Jesse Lingard and Alex Telles for the trip to Turkey, which comes ahead of a big domestic game against Everton at the weekend.

Basaksehir, for their part, are likely to be without former Tottenham wideman Nacer Chadli, while midfielder Azubuike Okechukwu is a doubt.

Istanbul Basaksehir vs Manchester United Preview

United have been considerably stronger on the road than they have been at Old Trafford this season, where they have lost three times in the Premier League already.

In fact, the Red Devils’ only defeat in their last 19 matches away from their own stadium came against Sevilla in the Europa League at a neutral venue, and so they will be confident of picking up another positive result here.

Their five away games in all competitions this term have seen United score 15 goals, and in the Champions League they have scored at least twice in four of their last six matches on the road. 

Istanbul Basaksehir vs Manchester United Tips and Predictions

Over 2.75 goals is priced at 43/50 (1.86) and looks like a strong option for this game as United’s matches this season have averaged 3.6 goals.

This selection returns a half-win if there are exactly three goals in the game, with the other half of the stake being refunded, and a full win if there are more than three.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Looking far more assured at the back since Mendy's arrival, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Blues to ease past his former club at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea will be looking to bolster their position at the top of Group E when they welcome Rennes to Stamford Bridge in Wednesday’s Champions League clash.

The Blues are first on goal difference after taking four points from the opening two matches, running out comfortable 4-0 winners in Krasnodar last time out.

Chelsea vs Rennes Latest Odds

Unbeaten in six matches in all competitions, they are clear 4/11 (1.36) favourites with bet365 to take another step towards the knockout stages by coming out on top here.

Julian Stephan’s men have picked up just one point from the first available six in their group stage debut so far but can be backed at 15/2 (8.50) to pull off a memorable win in London.

Five of the last eight Champions League matches at this ground have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 4/1 (5.00) on this one also finishing up all square.

Chelsea vs Rennes Team News

Christian Pulisic is out after injuring his hamstring in the warm-up for Saturday’s win over Burnley, joining Kepa and Billy Gilmour on the sidelines.

Eduardo Camavinga, Daniele Rugani and Faitout Maouassa are all ruled out due to injury for the visitors, although M’Baye Niang could be involved after returning to training.

Chelsea vs Rennes Preview

This match also serves as a reunion for Edouard Mendy, the goalkeeper Frank Lampard brought in from France in order to replace the hapless Kepa.

The Senegal international has made a strong start to life at his new club, conceding just once in six matches since his arrival and keeping a clean sheet in each of the most recent five.

He will be confident of extending that record considering the Ligue 1 side are yet to score from open play in this competition and have hit the net just five times in their last five fixtures.

Chelsea vs Rennes Tips and Predictions

Having lost two of their most recent three, odds of 5/4 (2.25) seem generous on Rennes falling to another defeat while failing to score against a newly robust Chelsea side.

All odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Despite struggling domestically, the Catalans have been in strong form in the Champions League and we are backing that run to continue on Wednesday

Barcelona welcome Dynamo Kiev to Camp Nou on Wednesday evening with Ronald Koeman’s side aiming to continue to their strong start in Group G of the Champions League.

The Blaugrana have convincingly won both of their European matches this term, in stark contrast to their start to the La Liga campaign where they sit 12th after six games. 

Barcelona vs Dynamo Kiev Latest Odds

Barca are unbeaten in their last 36 Champions League matches at Camp Nou and bet365 offer them at just 1/14 (1.07).

The visitors would have been rank outsiders anyway but Andriy Shevchenko will also be without a host of players due to coronavirus, and the side from Ukraine are offered at 33/1 (34.0) with the draw at 10/1 (11.00).

Barcelona vs Dynamo Kiev Team News

The Catalans remain without first-choice goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, although the German is closing in on a return from injury, whilst Samuel Umtiti, Ronaldo Araujo and Philippe Coutinho are all still sidelined.

Dynamo have named a travelling squad of just 13 players for the trip to Spain, with nine regulars missing due to coronavirus and Sergiy Sydorchuk is suspended. Third-choice goalkeeper Ruslan Neshcheret should start.

Barcelona vs Dynamo Kiev Preview

Saturday evening saw the Blaugrana play out a frustrating 1-1 draw at Alaves, with Koeman afterwards rueing his side’s squandered chances.

Indeed, it was a similar story last week against Juventus where Barca created plenty of openings but did not manage to score their second goal until injury time to kill off the game.

However, the hosts should be far too strong for a Dynamo side missing so many players especially after being so clinical in dispatching Ferencvaros by a 5-1 scoreline two weeks ago.

Barca have scored at least three goals in six of their last eight Champions League games at Camp Nou and should be able to record another clear win against lower ranked opposition.

Barcelona vs Dynamo Kiev Tips And Predictions

In an extremely one-sided market backing the hosts to win both halves, as they did in their last home European game, at 8/11 (1.72) looks like an appealing option.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>This Champions League clash is a rematch of last season's semi-final and our tipster is backing one of the visitors' most in-form attackers to strike

RB Leipzig and Paris Saint-Germain are both looking for their second Champions League win of the campaign when they meet on Wednesday night.

The two sides have each beaten Istanbul Basaksehir and lost to Manchester United in Group H so far, meaning this clash could go some way to deciding who reaches the knockout stages.

RB Leipzig vs PSG Latest Odds

RB Leipzig lost 5-0 at Old Trafford last Wednesday but are 11/8 (2.38) favourites with bet365 to bounce back with victory.

This is a rematch of one of last season’s semi-finals which PSG won 3-0 and the Ligue 1 champions are 15/8 (2.88) to emerge victorious in this clash as well.

A draw would keep both sides in contention ahead of the rematch in three weeks and that is priced at 5/2 (3.50).

RB Leipzig vs PSG Team News

The Bundesliga outfit are without Marcel Halstenberg, Fabrice Hartmann, Lucas Klostermann and Konrad Laimer, meaning Julian Nagelsmann may have some shuffling to do ahead of Wednesday.

PSG have plenty of high-profile absences with Kylian Mbappe, Mauro Icardi, Leandro Paredes, Marco Verratti, Julian Draxler, Neymar, Juan Bernat and Alexandre Letellier all out, whilst Angel Di Maria is doubtful.

RB Leipzig vs PSG Preview

Although PSG are missing some of their most talented attackers in the likes of Mbappe, Neymar and Icardi, the in-form Moise Kean still boasts plenty of firepower with four goals in his last three appearances.

If Di Maria is able to prove his fitness then that is still a fearsome front three, and his deputy Pablo Sarabia offers plenty that RB Leipzig’s struggling defence may not be able to deal with.

Nagelsmann’s men have not kept a clean sheet in any of their last three matches and confidence may be low after that 5-0 drubbing by Man United was followed up with a 1-0 defeat at Borussia Monchengladbach at the weekend.

RB Leipzig vs PSG Tips and Predictions

PSG still have a formidable team despite the multitude of injuries, and bet365’s price of 11/8 (2.38) on Kean to extend his strong scoring run looks worthy, especially with the on-loan Everton man likely to be on penalty duty.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Premier League side have been in strong form yet are still conceding goals, and so we are opposing them to keep a clean sheet in Europe this week

Tottenham travel to Bulgaria on Thursday evening to face Ludogorets in Group J of the Europa League.

Jose Mourinho’s men suffered a defeat to Antwerp on matchday two of the competition but are clear favourites to claim a victory against the bottom team in the group.

Ludogorets vs Tottenham Latest Odds

Their loss in Belgium last week remains Spurs’ only defeat in their last 12 matches, with Mourinho’s side particularly strong domestically.

The manager is expected to rotate his squad on Thursday night but the Premier League outfit are nevertheless highly fancied, priced at 1/3 (1.33) with bet365.

Ludogorets have lost both of their matches in the competition so far and are available at 15/2 (8.50) with the draw offered at 9/2 (5.50).

Ludogorets vs Tottenham Team News

Spurs have no major injury concerns, but Harry Kane and Son Heung-min are yet to start a game in the group stages and are likely to be on the bench once more along with the likes of Toby Aldeweireld and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

The Bulgarians will be without their top scorer this season in Higinio Marin, with the Spaniard suffering a serious knee injury.

Ludogorets vs Tottenham Preview

Last week’s performance in Belgium was one of the poorest of the season from Tottenham and Mourinho will expect much better from his side even if he does rotate the squad.

There are still defensive issues for the north Londoners to address, though, and just two clean sheets in 13 competitive fixtures so far this term underline the work that is still to be done.

Ludogorets have scored in each of their last 10 games in all competitions including in both of their group games so far, and will be looking to take advantage of Spurs’ poor record at the back.

The Bulgarian champions have also netted in nine of their last 12 Europa League matches, including qualifiers, and last season they scored in five of their six group games as well as at Inter in the knockout stages.

Ludogorets vs Tottenham Tips and Predictions

The hosts are offered at 4/6 (1.66) to net while both teams to score is available at 4/5 (1.80) with bet365 and offers decent value ahead of this Europa League clash.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>On a high after their Old Trafford win, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Gunners to ease towards the Europa League knockout stages against Moe's men

Arsenal will be looking to move clear at the top of their Europa League group when Molde visit the Emirates Stadium on Thursday evening.

The Gunners are ahead of their guests on goal difference after both took six points from their opening two group stage matches against Rapid Vienna and Dundalk.

Arsenal vs Molde Latest Odds

Having lost just one of their last 11 matches on home turf in all competitions, Arsenal are 2/7 (1.29) favourites with bet365 to make it three wins from three here.

However, Erling Moe’s team comes into this match on the back of a six-game winning streak and can be backed at 8/1 (9.00) to extend that run with a shock win or 5/1 (6.00) to earn a creditable draw.

Arsenal vs Molde Team News

Calum Chambers, Pablo Mari and Gabriel Martinelli are all ruled out, although David Luiz could be back in contention following a thigh injury.

Kristoffer Haraldseid is the only absentee for the guests, having been ruled out for the entire season with a cruciate ligament injury.

Arsenal vs Molde Preview

With the other two teams in the group both on zero points, Mikel Arteta will know that victory in this game could almost seal progression with three matches to spare – an appealing prospect considering this season’s hectic fixture list.

On a high after last weekend’s long-awaited victory at Old Trafford – their first there in 14 years – his side will be confident of easing to victory over a team that was forced to come from behind to win in Dundalk and scraped past Rapid Vienna 1-0 in Norway.

Having won only won six out of 20 Europa League matches on the road, it is hard to see Molde competing against a home side that has only lost three out of 19 in their own backyard in this competition – winning eight of the most recent 10.

Arsenal vs Molde Tips and Predictions

All in all, odds of 4/5 (1.80) seem like solid value on a motivated Arsenal winning by at least two clear goals when Molde come to town.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Foxes are top of their Europa League group after opening the tournament with two wins but our tipster is backing a tight clash on Thursday

Click Here: men football tracksuits

Leicester City can take a massive step towards the Europa League knockout stages when they host Braga in Group G on Thursday night.

The Foxes come into the match in good form, having won their previous two games in the competition and most recently beat Leeds United 4-1 in the Premier League on Monday night.

Leicester City vs Braga Latest Odds

Having won their last four games across all competitions, bet365 make Leicester 4/6 (1.67) favourites to add to that on Thursday.

Braga are also in good form with six victories in a row but are 39/10 (4.90) outsiders to win at the King Power Stadium and leapfrog Leicester in Group G.

Neither side have drawn a fixture this season and a first stalemate for both teams is available at 3/1 (4.0) which would likely see the hosts remain top of the group by virtue of a better disciplinary record.

Leicester City vs Braga Team News

Timothy Castagne, Caglar Soyuncu, Daniel Amartey, Wilfred Ndidi and Ricardo Pereira all remain out for the Foxes, whilst James Maddison and Cengiz Under could feature from the start after coming off the bench against Leeds.

Rui Fonte is a long-term absentee for Braga, who otherwise have a full complement of players for this clash.

Leicester City vs Braga Preview

Two in-form teams facing off usually leads to a tight affair, especially with neither side wanting to lose ground on the other in Group G and two tough defences on show.

Braga’s strong backline have kept three clean sheets in their last four games and will certainly back themselves to keep things tight against a Leicester side who played as recently as Monday night.

The Foxes themselves have shipped just two goals in their last four in all competitions despite a relatively depleted defence, and so they too should be set for a strong performance.

Leicester City vs Braga Tips and Predictions

There is no doubt that both sides have talented attacking players but defences could be set to take centre-stage for this one and bet365 go Evens (2.0) that fewer than three goals are scored.

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Catalans have been in fine scoring form in the Champions League and we think their La Liga clash this weekend will see plenty of goals as well

Barcelona welcome Real Betis to Camp Nou on Saturday afternoon with Ronald Koeman’s side looking to get back on track in La Liga.

The Blaugrana have failed to win any of their last four domestic clashes and come into this weekend’s round of fixtures in 12th place, some nine points off the pace already.

Their opponents are a Betis side who have won four and lost four of their opening eight games, although Los Verdiblancos have managed just three wins in their last 23 away La Liga games.

Barcelona vs Real Betis Latest Odds

Betis have won just two of their last 16 matches on the road and bet365 offer them at 7/1 (8.00) to claim a victory in Catalonia.

The hosts, for their part, are available at 9/25 (1.36) with the draw priced at 4/1 (5.00).

Barcelona vs Real Betis Team News

Marc-Andre ter Stegen should make his first La Liga appearance of the campaign after recovering from injury, but Ronald Araujo, Samuel Umtiti and Philippe Coutinho are definitely out while Clement Lenglet is a doubt.

The visitors have doubts over centre-back Sideni, midfielder Andres Guardado and forward Juanmi Jimenez, while Victory Camarasa is a long-term absentee.

Barcelona vs Real Betis Preview

Wednesday night saw Barca record their third win out of three games in the Champions League to practically assure their place in the knockout stages.

Koeman will be hoping to transfer that form into La Liga where he has seen his side lose to Getafe and Real Madrid and draw with Alaves and Sevilla over the last four weeks.

The problem for the Catalans has been a lack of efficiency in front of goal while also conceding regularly and although Ter Stegen should help solidify things, the German was called into action on multiple occasions against a much-weakened Dynamo Kiev side.

Betis have the attacking talent to trouble Barca and there is every chance that this will be a high-scoring encounter as this fixture has regularly been over the last few years.

Barcelona vs Real Betis Tips and Predictions

Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score is priced at evens (2.00) and looks an excellent option, with Barcelona conceding in six of their last seven competitive games.

This bet has paid out in each of the last four meetings between these sides and should do once more on Saturday.
